Sunday, November 5th at 4pm we’ll have our annual Charge Conference with other congregations in the North Central District. We’ll meet at Perry UMC to gather for worship, voting, hearing from our District Superintendent and District Lay Leader along with putting together some flood buckets as our district mission! Even if you can’t make it to Charge Conference, you can be a part of the mission activities! Each congregation is invited to bring supplies for the flood buckets.

Here are the supplies needed for each bucket.

• One 32–64 oz. bottle liquid laundry detergent

• No spray cleaners

• One 16–34 oz. bottle liquid dish soap
• One 4–8 oz. pump spray air freshener
• One 6–14 oz. pump spray insect repellant (pack of 10–20 wipes also acceptable)
